So i take it from the link provided in CanadaRAM's post that these 12" CompUSA Powerbooks *could* be used. Anyone else purchase one of these?

Im in a position now where Im thinking about getting a 12 pb rather than saving up for an mbp...ir wait for a new iBook. I was in my local apple store today and checked the 12 inch powerbooks out...theyre so much nicer then the current iBooks...the screen is just so much brighter IMO. And the build-quality, it feels different..
Mentioned in another thread. The 12-inch Superdrive at AMazon is now down to $1299. $1150 after rebate. Amazing

When I posted, it was still at the $1299 - $150 - $1150. It is now back to $1449 before rebate. Looks like it was a mistake during most of today, but lucky for those who got it.

They've had some wild price fluctuations on those in the past couple of days. Thursday evening they were $1,399.99 on Amazon before the rebate. Then early this morning my girlfriend ordered one while they were $1,299.99 (before the $150 rebate, $1,149.99 after) and her order did indeed go through for that price. By late this afternoon however they were back up to $1,449.99. So they've had 3 different prices listed for them in just the last 24 hours! As often as Amazon changes prices, you should keep your eyes on it because it could always drop again by tomorrow.
Well, it looks like CompUSA near me is completely sold out and Amazon's prices having't dropped again. I was ready to buy one today/tomorrow, but I guess it'll have to wait.If anyone sees a similar deal and is willing to give me a heads up, I'd really appreciate it!!
Cheap 12" Powerbooks
If you can find one, Apple retail stores are selling refreshed 12" Powerbook 1.5 Superdrive models for $999!

Thats a good price, but the cheapest I've seen them for on the refurb site is $1099. No matter really, I found a used one in MINT condition for $900 (with a combo drive, but...). By the time I add in the tax (~$85) and the price for the extra ram that mine came with (~$150) its up over $1200, which is more than mine will end up costing even after I put applecare on it.
Thanks for the heads up though!
